"The start (12-1) was the big key," said Elgin coach Lee Turek. "We played really well at the beginning of the game and then lost some rhythm. You have a tendency to get lazy when you have big early leads."

Annette Luyten led St. Charles (6-9, 4-2) with 14 points and 19 rebounds.

St. Scholastica 57, Trinity 51 (OT): Shannon McGowan scored 23 points and had 11 rebounds while Christine Heyd added 18 points and 10 rebounds for St. Scholastica (9-4) in the GCAC crossover.

Tied at 49-49 after regulation, Heyd converted two consecutive shots to give St. Scholastica a lead it didn't relinquish.
